Technics Unveils Premium SP-10R Turntable

Panasonic has announced the Technics SP-10R—a reissue of the brand’s iconic SP-10 model. Originally released in 1970, the SP-10 was the first Technics turntable and the first direct-drive turntable to hit the market. The new SP-10R is a luxury item, with Panasonic’s press release dubbing it Technics’ “most premium analog, direct-drive turntable to date.” It comes with a separately-housed power supply and a remarkably low wow and flutter rate of 0.015 percent. Revealed at the IFA 2017 trade show in Berlin, the SP-10R is set for a summer 2018 launch. The price has not yet been revealed. Check it out below.
